Attorney Jailed

In Iran, Mohammad Ali Dadkhah has been representing a christian pastor who is on the death row and has been an attorney for many other activists and christians. Recently, the judge has sentenced him to nine years in jail for allegedly "threatening national security". This recent development is certain to harm the pastor's case. Neither of these men deserve to be in jail or sentenced to death. This is a major freedom of speech violation. If the government expects to keep peace among the people, it must respect their rights. Both of these people deserve better.
